The Fast Lane
Where the phrase comes from · Card no. 4022
From the motorway. Once roads had lanes of different speed in the 1950s and 60s, the outer one carried the traffic that would not slow down, and living in the fast lane came to mean a life run at the same speed.
No such place exists, which has never stopped anyone from going. Every card here is an original painting of a phrase, free to send by email or by link.
